Five original guitar heroes who between them created the 'Mississippi Delta Blues' in the 1920s and '30s. These artists have almost been forgotten nowadays, but there legacy has inspired more well-known musicians such has BB King, Eric Clapton and Bob Dylan. When listening to the Delta Blues today, I can't help but think how much life has changed in the past one hundred years, and yet at the same time wonder how things haven't changed at all.
